00:34at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.

00:37Based on the latest survey of WR Numero Research firm, 62% of respondents agree with this, 20% disagree and 19% are unsure.

00:47For some members of Congress, this only proves that the actions taken by our authorities on the issue

00:53are supported by many Filipinos.

00:56According to House Committee on Justice, Vice-Chair Jervie Luisto, as the administration has long been explaining,

01:02the government did not cooperate directly with the ICC but rather with Interpol, of which the Philippines remains a member.

01:09She also clarified the issue regarding the ICC's jurisdiction.

01:13There is jurisdiction because the acts were committed during the time that the Philippines is still a member state.

01:19As of now, there are also reports that in the coming days, the ICC is allegedly set to issue arrest warrants

01:45against those who were allegedly accomplices of Duterte in his bloody war on illegal drugs.

01:50For House Assistant Majority Leader Zia Alon to adjo, it is now up to the government to decide how to handle the situation should it happen.

01:58This is entirely within, I guess, the administration has been very consistent in saying that we no longer deal with the ICC.

02:09But as to the jurisdiction where the ICC gains its, yung kanyang kaso against the former president,

02:23the timeline kung saan nangyari itong mga allegations of mas, yung crime against humanity happened

02:33when the time the Philippines was a party and a member of the Rome Statute.

02:39So, let's see how this will unfold.

02:42Earlier, Vice President Sara Duterte also traveled to The Hague to attend to her father's needs.

02:48But she just came back.

02:49According to Luis Trojus, also part of the House prosecution team,

02:53now that the Vice President is back, she hopes the Senate will begin the impeachment trial.

02:57Ito pong impeachment trial na ito, hindi lang para sa prosecutors.

03:03Ang impeachment trial na ito ay para sa ating Vice Presidente din.

03:06Because this will give her the ample opportunity to clear her name

03:10with respect to all the allegations which are being imputed against her.
